As noted in Arch Brown’s comparison report on the 1918 Mercer Raceabout and 1918 Stutz Bearcat for SIA #121, February 1991, the two thoroughbreds are often mentioned in the same breath for their many similarities, but they are indeed separate cars, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. Rather than pose hypotheticals about the superiority of one of these storied rivals over the other, however, Brown drove them both and came back with this report.
